--- Comment #2 from Kangjie Lu <kjlu at gatech dot edu> ---
Then I guess this is an unspecified area in C11.

Anyway, the failure to initialize the padding bytes will cause information
leaks; many leaks have been confirmed.

I would suggest gcc to initialize padding bytes even it is not specified in
C11.


Thanks,
Kangjie
